The little bite sized babies might be cute, but watch out – they pack a little punch!

I love jalapeno poppers AND buffalo chicken so I decided to combine them both and really spice things up!

These are so good and real easy to make. Prep them ahead and bake them just before you're ready to serve. They should be served hot, so don't bake them ahead. If you want to go carb-less or gluten free, I think they would be good without the panko too. Just please do yourself a favor and wear gloves when you cut the peppers.

Fill peppers with chicken cheese filling with a small spoon or spatula.

Dip peppers in egg, then in panko mixture to coat and place on prepared baking sheet. Spray the peppers with more oil and bake until golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve hot, make 20.

Arby's used to have jalapeno bites with some sort of sweet berry sauce for dipping. Now that I have this perfect recipe for a delicious popper, I need to think up a sweet sauce that still fits in with my weight watchers diet!

I've been looking for a healthy Super Bowl recipes, and these look perfect! Have you ever tried stuffing sweet mini peppers with hummus instead of cream cheese? My local grocery story offered samples of hummus-stuffed sweet mini peppers last summer, but I lost the recipe and would like to try it at home because my husband doesn't eat dairy.

I prepared these last night for baking this evening! I skipped the egg and just sprinkled some panko bread crumbs on top. I was worried that the filling would fall out if I tried dipping them in the egg. Did you have any issues with dipping?

So incredible! I wanted to make wings & poppers for the Super Bowl ...but came across your recipe at just the right time (this seriously somehow always seems to happen). Only breaded the tops and made homemade breadcrumbs from a loaf of leftover whole wheat french bread from dinner last night. Turned out perfect, and they were a HUGE hit for my Super Bowl gathering! Thank you!

Does this make 10 or 20 poppers. Also are 2 poppers 2 points? Want to make sure I know how to read details about recipe accurately. I could probably set the whole batch by myself in one sitting. Just don't want to use all my points for the day on these!!!!!!
